Should federal hiring match the population?

[TemplarKormac]

Efficiency is, by definition, maximal output through minimal input. Some say we have too many federal employees, while others say we have too few.

I contend that we have too few. Due to understaffing, the quality of government services suffers. The expectation of an employee to do the work of two people is unrealistic. Worker fatigue sets in and compromises performance. Therefore, it is through a lack of input of a sufficient workforce to address public demand that government fails address public demand properly.

What say you?

How about just cut the Federal government

 

[rightwinger]

Statistics show that the Federal Workforce has remained at around 2.5 million for the last 50 years

The population has almost doubled

If the goal is for the Federal government to run every aspect of our lives, then yes.

If not, then no.

OMG, did you call moi a liberal?

Heh. I'm far from one. But I'm not stupid.

Effective government needs an effective and adequately maintained workforce.

You let Congress provide the oversight.

Trying to achieve some mystical economy of scale is part of the reason the government is so screwed up.

 

[TemplarKormac]

For example, we let states do some of the heavy lifting. Some may choose to, some may not.

How is that efficient?
